“We would highly recommend Amanda and her family to other dog owners. They went above and beyond to make our puppy feel at home and cared for. Amanda is also very responsive and kept up updated throughout the stay.”
“Hannah is the best! This was my first time using a Rover and my puppy is only a year old so I was extra nervous about using a service for the first time, but I’m so happy I did because we found Hannah! My puppy was so well taken care of and I got regular updates and photos from Hannah which made me so happy and feel more at ease. I’ve already rebooked her to take care of my little girl again! Thank you, Hannah! 😊”
“Danielle was fantastic! I had great peace of mind leaving my dog with her for a long weekend while I was out of town. She sent lots of pictures, was very responsive, and clearly cared for my pup very well!”
“I’ve had Lora watch my six month old kitten twice now & she is absolutely amazing! She sends pictures and updates on what they are doing throughout the day which is so fun to see - Arthur definitely loves his time with her! I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“My fur baby was right at home. Aquisha was awesome and made me feel very comfortable with leaving Zeus with her. i didn’t worry about him one bit and she sent me pictures daily.”
“Precious was fantastic! Communication was seamless, and loved receiving regular updates and photos/videos which gave me total peace of mind. I returned home to a very happy, relaxed pup. Precious is trustworthy, caring, and professional. I'd absolutely book again!”
“We'd never utilized Rover before and we needed a caretaker for same-day. "Will we be able to set up an appointment with a kind sitter on such short notice?", we wondered. Scrolling through those who were available per our schedule, we selected Carolyn, then crossed our fingers that she would respond soon. She responded surprisingly quickly- in fact, Carolyn's communication was efficient and professional from start to finish. Although we were a bit anxious dropping our girl off, we clearly needn't have been worried. At drop-off, Carolyn reached out sweetly to greet our girl, and they appeared to share immediate comfort with each other. The photos we received from Carolyn a few hours later demonstrated to us that everything was going peacefully in our absence. And pick-up, too, was efficiently handled. Overall, we were thoroughly impressed with every single aspect of our experience with Carolyn: we genuinely recommend her, and our girl Lucy gives her a 4-paws-up rating as well. Thanks very much, Carolyn!”
“Monique was very responsive to my questions. She was very friendly and her home was attractive with a fenced yard. She walked Teddy with her dog and let him chill on her couch. I feel he was well cared for. I would definitely use her again.”
“Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Excellent sitter! And she was very patient and understanding with all of my needs. Being that my dog is a senior and she needs a little extra attention. She was able to handle all of her medication and gental care. She was very responsive and just has a great positive exciting energy about herself. I felt very comfortable leaving my old goat with her.”
“As always, Geno had a great stay. He loves to vacation with the other fur babies. He’s always excited to see Allison walk out to greet us and take him inside where he knows it’s playtime! We love Allison!!”
“Sandra was absolutely amazing watching our fur baby, Bella while we were on Christmas vacation. This was our first time leaving Bella with anyone. She sent daily photos and videos of Bella which ensured us that Bella was doing fine, I highly recommend Sandra and will definitely be using her again.”
“Samantha was awesome! She was extremely communicative, gave constant updates and made me feel at ease. I was traveling from another state and was nervous to leave Kam but he had a ball and was extremely comfortable with her! Will definitely book her anytime I visit in the future. Can’t say thank you enough”
“I would give Kelsey 10 stars if I could! I have used Rover quite a few times prior and have had the best experience with her. She was so sweet and welcoming to my pup, Culver. She continuously kept me in the loop and sent photos/videos. I even had a canceled flight and got into town later than expected to pick up Culver and she was so flexible and willing to help out. I can really tell she loves to be around dogs and treats them as her own. I will be using Kelsey whenever I can!! :)”
“Once again, Cullen was amazing!! This was our first time leaving Zuri overnight with him and it felt so great to have peace of mind the whole time she was with him. So grateful for the warm care and many pics!!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better host for our pup, Chloe! From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease. Daniel sent wonderful updates and pictures time to time, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Kids were always happy to see her updates. Chloe had the best time playing with their two dogs and made good friends, Arlo and Deebo—they were friendly and welcoming to her from the start! She came home happy, relaxed, and well-cared for. We are already looking forward to booking with them again!”
“Jessyca was absolutely wonderful with our pup Nina! She was so kind, caring, and attentive, and it was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals. We really appreciated having a meet-and-greet beforehand, and she took the time to get to know Nina and make sure she was comfortable. While we were away, Jessyca sent us lots of updates and photos, which gave us such great peace of mind. She gave Nina plenty of love and cuddles and Nina came home a happy girl! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend Jessyca to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and reliable. We will definitely book with her again! 💕 🐾”
“Hunter was very respectful and willing to help out with my pup if he suffered from seizures. Although none occurred, she was reviewing all the notes to make sure she was ready. I am grateful to her willingness to make sure my pup was well cared for. Would book again!”
“Megan was great with Jasper! He had so much and I got daily pictures. She even sat with him to make sure he ate his dinner when he was too shy to eat somewhere new. Will definitely be rebooking”

“Megan was wonderful with our two boys. Prompt and on scheduled with drop in visits, which was comforting because my dog takes pills around the clock. Would highly recommend”
“Alyssa took great care of my cats while I was away and provided above and beyond support when I needed to rebook my flights. She is an excellent pet sitter, highly recommend!”
“Megan took excellent care of my kitten, Sofia, as she was recovering from her spay. Sofia and I are very grateful for her and Sofia cant wait to see her again !”
“I can't say enough good things about Bree! Leaving my cat is always stressful, especially since she needs medication twice a day. But Bree was absolutely amazing. From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease. While I was away, Bree sent me regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Piper's well-being. More importantly, she administered Piper's medication perfectly, without any issues. I highly recommend bree to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and experienced cat sitter. She went above and beyond, and I will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“Christopher provided great care to my cats while I was away for a while. He made sure to give them extra attention and love! I appreciate the updates on the rover cards, especially the adorable pictures he took. He always arrived on time to feed the cats. They seemed well taken care of when I arrived back home. One of my cats didn't want him to leave and kept wanting attention from him. Thank you for being there for the cats!”
“Peyton did a great job dropping off to feed and entertain my 2 cats while I was gone. My place was kept clean and he spent the full 30 minutes with them at each visit.”
“Salina exceeded our expectations communicated well and went above and beyond to ensure that we felt comfortable. She knows how to use the litter robot and made sure they had fresh water and the food dispenser was always working. My little girl cat is very timid but I was so so happy she was out and about during their visits which tells me that Salina is a cat whisperer!! Definitely will be requesting her services again the next time we go away. Thank you!!”

“Amanda was amazing and highly communicative throughout the entire stay. She went above and beyond to help my anxious pup feel comfortable, which made a huge difference. I really appreciated her care and attention.”
“Mia took really good care of Gus. It’s been awhile since I left him by himself, so he was really shy. Mia understood this and let him go at his own pace. Her home is lovely with a great front yard set up. I hope Gus opens up more next time. :)”
“Winnie was a life saver to us. We traveled with our pup to NC for a family reunion and wanted to put him in daycare while we attended. I was nervous but she was so pleasant and reassuring; My pup took to her immediately. We were able to enjoy the event knowing that our pup was in good hands.”
“Rachel is a huge gift from Rover!!!! My work schedule is a bit crazy and very unpredictable and she’s been so kind and understanding. Beyond that my Bodhi boy is always so excited when we pull down her street because he knows he’s going to have a fun day with her and her pup Leo! Definitely recommend this sitter!!!!”
“Prince had an amazing visit with Zaida today. They took walks and she sent me plenty of pictures. She sent me details about what they did. She is attentive and does a wonderful job with my dog!”
“Ana was my best experience on rover thus far. She took amazing care of my dog on a difficult day for my fiancée and I. My dog had a great time with her, and she was excellent at communicating. Highly recommend.”
“Amazing! Was so great with Peanut and making him feel comfortable and understanding his allergies! Sent me photos through out the day :) Highly recommend!”
“Thank you for taking great care of my little man!! He seemed like he was comfortable and enjoyed his time. I appreciated all of the pictures and updates through the day. He will definitely be back for daycare and boarding!”
“This was my first time using Rover and Allison did not disappoint! Allison's excellent communication skills gave me so much peace of mind throughout the whole process. I also really enjoyed receiving photos and updates throughout the day. I will definitely be booking with Allison again and highly recommend other to do the same!”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life, including dogs, cats, a rabbit, and fish, so caring for animals has always been a normal part of my everyday life. I also have hands-on experience helping care for boarding and daycare dogs in my home, which has given me experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, routines, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, potty breaks, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I’ve learned that every pet is different, so I pay attention to their individual personality and needs and follow the owner’s instructions and normal routine as closely as possible. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. On a typical weekend, I’m available throughout the day for morning potty breaks and feeding, walks, playtime, plenty of attention, and evening care. I’m able to adjust my schedule based on each pet’s normal routine, including meal times, walks, medications, and bedtime. My family also helps with pet care when needed, so pets have plenty of attention and supervision throughout their stay. Safety and comfort are really important in our home. When caring for pets from multiple families, dogs can be separated as needed so everyone has their own safe space to relax and decompress. Dogs are fed separately in their own crates or designated spaces to prevent food-related conflicts, and crates can also be used for rest or whenever an owner requests it. I try to make each pet’s stay feel as familiar and comfortable as possible, so owners are encouraged to bring their pet’s favorite bed, blanket, stuffed toy, or “lovey” from home. I follow each pet’s normal feeding, potty, medication, and sleeping routine as closely as possible. Pets are supervised during interactions, and I pay attention to their individual personalities and comfort levels rather than expecting every dog to immediately become best friends. My goal is to give each pet plenty of attention while also making sure they have a comfortable, secure place to retreat and relax when they need it.
About: Ive been caring for and loving dogs for 30 plus years :) I'm a nurse who works from home now and frequently dog sit for friends. I walk 12k steps a day so if your dog loves walks, they'll get them! If they'd rather be my lazy co worker and hangout as I work at my desk, thats great too :) have lots of love and attention to give your sweet baby! Wfh full time. Routine is flexible! I get lots of steps in to break up my day at the desk so lots of opportunity to get outside. 2 story town home end unit with walkout back patio. No fence. No kids, no other pets, very clean, no clutter or risk of eating things 😂
“Latrice was available last minute on Christmas eve/Christmas morning of all days. Was literally a lifesaver that she was available last minute on a holiday. My puppy was happy as could be when I picked him up and I could tell he was well taken care of. :) I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Mia was great. She took care of my pups on a very short notice. She is very flexible and willing to make things work. She sent tons of pictures of their walks and play time. I will definitely bring my pups to the Inn for our future trips.”
“Amazing Experience with Anthony! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Anthony was absolutely wonderful with my Shih Tzu, Gizzle, at doggie day camp yesterday! He was up bright and early and ready for Gizzle at drop-off. Throughout the day, he kept me updated with important information and sent me pictures of Gizzle. ❤️ Just by looking at the pictures, I could tell Gizzle was happy, comfortable, and being treated with great care. I truly appreciate Anthony’s communication and the love and attention he gave my fur baby. I would definitely recommend him and will be booking with him again! 🐶💕”
About: Certified Veterinary Technician with over 6+ years of hands-on experience in both general practice and emergency medicine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority, and you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in skilled, capable hands should an unexpected situation arise. Behavioral modification training details upon request. As a stay-at-home mom, I have open availability and am home full-time, allowing me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day—not just during scheduled visits. With 6+ years of hands-on experience as a veterinary technician in both general practice and emergency medicine, I’m able to recognize subtle changes in a pet’s health and provide knowledgeable, compassionate care. Caring for animals has always been my passion, and becoming a full-time mom has given me the opportunity to continue doing what I love while offering pets a safe, loving home away from home. Whether your pet is staying for a night or an extended visit, they’ll receive personalized attention, plenty of affection, and the highest standard of care. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority. Each pet is ensured their own cozy kennel space for naps and overnight sleeping, providing a calm and secure environment. Fresh water is available at all times, including access to my large 3-gallon water bowl to keep pets well-hydrated. High-energy breeds receive appropriate exercise, including park walks to meet their physical and mental needs. I also have a yard available for outdoor time; however, it is unfenced and all outdoor activities are closely supervised. My home is a spacious duplex, allowing pets to roam freely indoors during the day while staying under my constant care and supervision. I maintain a safe, pet-friendly environment and closely monitor behavior, routines, and health. With experience in veterinary care, I’m attentive to signs of stress or discomfort and always put your pet’s well-being first.
About: I've been around animals since I was a little kid. Grew up on my grandparents' farm taking care of dogs, bunnies, pigs, sheep, cows, you name it. That's where my love for them started. I've trained every dog I've ever owned myself — from a big Rottweiler to a tiny Chihuahua-pug mix, and now my German Shepherd that I raised from a puppy. I'm good at reading their body language, teaching manners, and fixing leash reactivity so walks are actually enjoyable. Been walking dogs for friends and family for years and house-sat a bunch of times. I'll treat your pets like my own — give them the love and attention they deserve, keep them well-behaved, and make sure you have total peace of mind while you're gone. Your dog will be spoiled, safe, and happy with me. I recently transitioned to full-time pet care, so I'm home all day, every day; weekdays and weekends. That means your dog gets my full attention, whether they're at my place or yours. I take them for potty breaks, longer walks, and plenty of playtime to keep them happy and never bored. In my home, the dog always gets my full attention. I'll make sure they feel safe and comfortable, keep them entertained with playtime, and work on training. I love watching them go from not knowing a command to nailing a solid sit, heel, or place. Of course I'll handle all the basics too, feeding exactly how you tell me, potty breaks on schedule, and making sure they're never stressed or bored. Whether it's at my place or yours, I'll treat your dog like my own and give them the attention they need.
“Big milestone for Gus this week—his very first stay with Isabella, and it couldn’t have gone better. 🐾 About a month ago, we did a meet-and-greet so they could get acquainted, and today was the perfect chance for them to spend more time together and strengthen that bond before our trip next week. It means so much knowing he’s becoming comfortable, confident, and happy in her care. Isabella has such a calm, gentle presence, and Gus settled in almost immediately. Even though it was just a day visit, she sent texts and photos throughout the day, which gave us such peace of mind. The best part? Gus had such a wonderful time that he didn’t even want to go home. 💛 That’s the kind of reassurance every dog parent hopes for!”

“Dylan has been absolutely wonderful with Dolly! She’s always reliable and on time, takes her on great daily walks, and is so thoughtful about keeping me updated. I really appreciate that she lets me know if anything seems off, even little things like noticing an accident in the apartment. She consistently goes above and beyond, and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing Dolly is with someone so dependable and caring. I’m so grateful to have found her!”
“Winnie did a great job with Turret. I needed her last minute and I didn't put his harness on him. She was quick to respond, problem solved and sent pictures of my sweet boy.”
About: Passionate pet care professional, carrying years of experience taking care of the needs of animals, especially dogs. I've had a Chinese Crested Powder Puff (aged 15), a Chipoo Chinese Crested mix (aged 17), and multiple Jack Russell/Chihuahua/Shih Tzu mixes. I have some experience looking after cats as well! I am able to take care of pretty much all their essential needs. I can also provide playtime for pets under my supervision. I ensure that they are in a safe space and away from any hazards. I'm good at providing updates, with pictures included, so you know that your pet is doing well while you are away! I have a flexible schedule as of now. I'm not that busy during the week, so I am able to schedule pet care services as needed. I keep my own calendar updated, showing my availability for the month. I'm very attentive when it comes to any pets under my care. I make sure their nutritional needs are met and that they are kept away from any hazards that might be present.
“Rachel is absolutely amazing!!! she's sent numerous pictures and gave Emma tons of love. We are looking forward to working with her again. We highly recommended Rachel”
About: NOTE: I’m currently offering lower rates while I build my sitter profile (updated 9/18/26). I’ve been pet sitting for over 8 years and have a lifelong love for dogs. I was the proud owner of a beagle named Larson for 14 wonderful years. He crossed the rainbow bridge in 2023 from natural causes, and caring for him gave me firsthand experience with the love, patience, and attention our pets deserve. Over the years, I’ve cared for many friends’ dogs while they were away on vacation. You can trust that your precious pup(s) will be in loving, dependable hands with me! I enjoy giving each dog plenty of attention and affection, including singing to them and providing gentle leg and back massages (if they enjoy them!). 😊 I’ll treat your pup(s) with the same care and love I would want for my own. I currently annd unexpectedly have tons of time on my hands. I will be more than happy to care for your animal with my newfound time. I’m readily available! I live in a 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath single story brick ranch home in east Charlotte. I have a big back yard that is fenced in on three sides. I live in a very safe, walkable neighborhood. I will keep your dog on leash at all times while walking and on a leash or tether while playing in the backyard. For their and my furniture’s safety I will crate your pup if I must leave my home to run an errand or two. However, I will try my best to have any errands complete prior to your dog’s arrival.
“Jacqueline was amazing. She was wonderful with our 80 lbs puppy. She was so understanding when Rover gave the wrong address too. We will definitely use her again!”
About: Hi! I’m Auzrey, a pet-loving remote worker with a flexible schedule and an active lifestyle. I go on daily walks, in addition to 1–2 runs a week, so I would love having your precious pets join me for some exercise and fresh air. I live alone and have no pets of my own, so your pet isn’t competing for care or space. I’m patient, reliable, and happy to adjust to your pet’s routine, whether they’re high-energy and love to play or need extra care due to age or anxiety. While I’m not a professional trainer, I’m confident with both puppies and older dogs, and I always prioritize clear communication and consistent care. Pet care fits naturally into my routine :) Working fully remote allows me to be able to take regular breaks for walks, potty breaks, and playtime. I already go on regular walks and runs, so I would love to have a four-legged companion join me. Whether it’s sticking to a routine or burning off energy, I’m happy to tailor the day to your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly apartment with a small on-site dog park that's great for potty breaks and quick outdoor time throughout the day. Because I work from home full-time, I’m able to keep a close eye on your pet and quickly respond to their needs, whether that means a walk, water refill, or just some attention. In your home or mine, I can stick to your pet’s routines and keep their environment calm, clean, and secure. I never take on more than I can handle, and I will also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.

About: *Side note- my older female dog listed in my profile lives with my parents right now, not me :)* I have over 6 years of hands-on pet care experience and am confident caring for a wide range of animals and needs. I’ve worked closely alongside my boyfriend, a veterinary technician, helping care for households with up to six dogs and cats at a time. However this adventure is just me this time! This experience has strengthened my ability to manage multiple pets, different temperaments, and structured routines. I’m comfortable caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, and reptiles, and I have experience administering daily medications, including injections such as insulin. I also have experience with basic grooming and maintaining clean, healthy living environments for pets. I enjoy staying active and love taking dogs on long walks, engaging in play, and providing plenty of affection and attention. Whether your pet needs exercise, structure, or extra cuddles, I adapt to their personality and routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. Communication is very important to me. I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. I follow each pet’s routine closely and appreciate clear instructions so I can provide the best possible care. I work best with pet parents who value trust, consistency, and open communication, allowing me to focus fully on keeping their pets happy, safe, and comfortable. I love building lasting relationships with the pets and families I care for, so your pet always has a familiar, trusted friend each time you’re away. Your pet will be cared for with patience, attentiveness, and genuine love — just like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide dependable, consistent care for every animal I look after. I’m available for morning and evening visits during the week, with more flexibility on weekends for walks, drop-ins, and extended visits. I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at one time so each animal receives attentive, unrushed care, plenty of affection, and the calm presence they deserve. I maintain a structured schedule and stay within a close service radius to ensure punctual visits and reliable routines. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind while they’re away. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comforting as possible so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I follow feeding schedules, walk routines, medication instructions, and household guidelines closely, while making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I take time to learn each pet’s personality — whether they love energetic playtime, long walks, cozy cuddles, or simply having a calm, reassuring presence nearby. My goal is for them to feel secure, loved, and cared for in your absence. I treat every home with the same respect I give my own. I keep things tidy, bring in packages if needed, and make sure everything is secure before leaving. If pets stay in my home, they are welcomed into a calm, safe environment with close supervision, gentle transitions, and lots of love and attention to help them feel comfortable. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and being treated like family.
About: I had my baby for 10 and a half years and still miss him every day. I’m not ready to get another baby, but I’d love to provide trustworthy care for yours. I work from home, so I can do potty breaks and give medications as needed. Without any other pets or people in my home, I can provide all the needs of your dog(s). I work from home during the week, so I’ll be able to work around needed schedules. It is possible for me to be gone on certain days for 4-8 hours. I’ll do my best to take care of your baby / babies as you would. I had my 125 pound baby in an apartment, so I understand the need for multiple walks and finding places they can run. Pets are welcome on any furniture in my home.
“Peyton is great. I was very fortunate to come across him when I was visiting Charlotte for two weeks. He came to my hotel and walk my dog every day while I was at work. He was always on time and left me messages every day. I would definitely recommend him. He provided a perfect no stress service. Thank you, Peyton. Pluto will miss you.”
About: I’ve always loved animals and taking care of them is something I love. I took some vet classes in high school that helped me learn the basics! Such as their body behavior, basic handling, and how to administer medication. I also gained some experience with grooming and caring for senior dogs, as I understand older pets need extra patience and attention. I’ve trained my own dog to perform many tricks and sleep on his own, so if you have a puppy I’d be more than happy to show them some basic tricks and commands during our time together. While training takes time I’m always happy to help them learn more and build good habits. I’m currently available to do walks or pet visits in the evening where I can then on a walk or even go to the park and play. I’m a full time student and worker as well so for right now the only days I’m available are Friday and Sundays for boarding, pet sitting, and home visits and need at least a 2 day notice please! I live in an apartment where there is a little doggy park and it’s a very dog friendly environment. Inside my apartment they are able to be on the furniture and be with me at all times. I will be taking them out every 1-2 hours or if you need me to do it more often I would be more than happy to. While they are with me if you have any extra requests to have them be on the bed or keep them in their crate I will be happy to follow that.
“Stephen was so incredible good with my pups! I liked getting feedback after every walk on behavior and their eating. The pups look like they enjoyed themselves tremendously! Will book with Stephen again”
About: I have been pet owners for years & there’s nothing I love more than spending time with animals. I love to take walks to the dog park & have a good game of fetch. I also take pictures of pets that I taken care of before so let me know if that’s something you would like. I currently work from home so I spend all day with my pets. My job lets me be able to still take my dog on multiple walks a day, have play time, go to the park & more. The play area is fenced in, I can easily crate your dog if needed. In my home I can provide everything your pet needs like if it was their own home and vice versa.
“Hi Anthony-I appreciated you being available in short notice. And I’m grateful for the time you gave on Friday. I am going to cancel the bookings for this week though because the extra dog fee was more than I am used to paying for a 30 minute walk. It has nothing to do with you - you were great.”
“Amanda has been such an amazing friend to Cosmo. We moved to 4th ward last week and the change was stressful on the little guy. Amanda immediately established a rapport with him and they have great walks together. She is also very punctual and communicates well.”

“Danielle was fantastic! I had great peace of mind leaving my dog with her for a long weekend while I was out of town. She sent lots of pictures, was very responsive, and clearly cared for my pup very well!”
“Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Excellent sitter! And she was very patient and understanding with all of my needs. Being that my dog is a senior and she needs a little extra attention. She was able to handle all of her medication and gental care. She was very responsive and just has a great positive exciting energy about herself. I felt very comfortable leaving my old goat with her.”
“I would give Kelsey 10 stars if I could! I have used Rover quite a few times prior and have had the best experience with her. She was so sweet and welcoming to my pup, Culver. She continuously kept me in the loop and sent photos/videos. I even had a canceled flight and got into town later than expected to pick up Culver and she was so flexible and willing to help out. I can really tell she loves to be around dogs and treats them as her own. I will be using Kelsey whenever I can!! :)”
“We couldn't have asked for a better host for our pup, Chloe! From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease. Daniel sent wonderful updates and pictures time to time, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Kids were always happy to see her updates. Chloe had the best time playing with their two dogs and made good friends, Arlo and Deebo—they were friendly and welcoming to her from the start! She came home happy, relaxed, and well-cared for. We are already looking forward to booking with them again!”
“Jessyca was absolutely wonderful with our pup Nina! She was so kind, caring, and attentive, and it was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals. We really appreciated having a meet-and-greet beforehand, and she took the time to get to know Nina and make sure she was comfortable. While we were away, Jessyca sent us lots of updates and photos, which gave us such great peace of mind. She gave Nina plenty of love and cuddles and Nina came home a happy girl! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend Jessyca to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and reliable. We will definitely book with her again! 💕 🐾”
“Hunter was very respectful and willing to help out with my pup if he suffered from seizures. Although none occurred, she was reviewing all the notes to make sure she was ready. I am grateful to her willingness to make sure my pup was well cared for. Would book again!”
“Megan was great with Jasper! He had so much and I got daily pictures. She even sat with him to make sure he ate his dinner when he was too shy to eat somewhere new. Will definitely be rebooking”
“Alexis was great with Gus. She provided great photos and was very understanding of my puppy. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for great pup g care!”
“Caitlin was great! She kept me updated and sent pictures daily. My dog also got along great with her dog, and it made me feel better knowing she already had a schedule and would treat my dog as her own. Would absolutely use her again!”
“Vanessa and Greg are, without a doubt, the best dog sitters we’ve ever had. Our dog, Jerry, is always well cared for with anyone, but it’s obvious he absolutely loves staying with them. The excitement on his face when he sees them and how happy and relaxed he is when we pick him up says everything. It’s clear they genuinely love him, and that means the world to us. They treat him like he’s part of their family, and we never have to worry while we’re away because we know he’s getting so much love, attention, and care. Finding people you trust completely with your dog is rare, and Vanessa and Greg are truly a godsend. We are so grateful for them, and Jerry can’t wait for his next stay every time. I can’t recommend them highly enough!”
“Elias is incredible! His house is clean and put together in a lovely neighborhood. His fenced in yard is huge with plenty of space for my fetch-loving golden retriever. He was super communicative, checking in each day and sending photos. He played with my dog so much I fear he liked Elias’ house better than ours! Will absolutely be using Elias again, cannot recommend him enough!”
About: Ive been caring for and loving dogs for 30 plus years :) I'm a nurse who works from home now and frequently dog sit for friends. I walk 12k steps a day so if your dog loves walks, they'll get them! If they'd rather be my lazy co worker and hangout as I work at my desk, thats great too :) have lots of love and attention to give your sweet baby! Wfh full time. Routine is flexible! I get lots of steps in to break up my day at the desk so lots of opportunity to get outside. 2 story town home end unit with walkout back patio. No fence. No kids, no other pets, very clean, no clutter or risk of eating things 😂
“Anna was amazing!! She sent countless photos, took Vinny on walks, and gave him lots of cuddles!! I would book with Anna again!! I don’t want anyone else to watch my boy.”
“Janell and her family were amazing to work with! She kept me updated on how Gus was doing and would send photos periodically. I know Gus had a great time because he slept all day after we picked him up! ? Highly recommend Janell! Thanks again! ?”
About: I’ve had experience all my life caring for all types of animals. I’ve had hamsters, geckos, cats, dogs, fish and a turtle. I have experience living with puppies/kittens and senior pets. Unfortunately both of my senior dogs have passed recently due to old age but it was such a blessing to have grown up with them. I’d love the opportunity to watch your pets and show them endless love! I live in an apartment complex right next to a really long trail and lots of grass. My boyfriend and I walk that trail all the time for some exercise! Of course your pet would come too:) I am in school part time in a radiography program at Carolinas College of Health Science. I have a lot of free time and my weekends are always free. I just graduated with a bachelors in exercise physiology from Penn State! I have so much time to fit in boarding or just taking them on a walk:) I’m mostly on campus 8-3 Monday and Tuesday. The rest of the week I’m really only there for a few hours and my Friday, sat, sun is completely free. There is a walking trail nearby and a bunch of dog parks within a block distance! I have no pets at home! Your pet would be my top priority:) our apartment complex is pretty quiet. I live with my boyfriend who I’ve been with for 2 years:)
“Tiffany was beyond amazing with our pup! This was the first time anyone has watched him and our first time using Rover. Tiffany made us and our pup feel soooo welcomed, loved, and cared for. I cannot explain how much I would recommend Tiffany for anyone looking to watch their pup. Our pup had the ChowChow and Huskey personality and Tiffany was able to handle his fun energy. She made our pup feel at home and loved and that’s exactly what we were looking for. I canning wait to have Tiffany watch our pup again in the future.”
